Since the Chicago Bulls aren’t up to much these days, we here at Pippen Ain’t Easy sat down and decided to discuss the 2017 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Obviously, the Chicago Bulls aren’t playing in the 2017 NBA Finals that start on Thursday night. I know. It’s shocking. I thought the Bulls had a legitimate chance to be among one of the last two teams standing. (I never once have thought this during this season.)

Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t talk some basketball here at Pippen Ain’t Easy and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Myself, my co-expert Daniel Coughlin, Willie Lutz, Patrick Sheetz, Bryce Fields and Dru Berry all got together and wanted to discuss the 2017 NBA Finals.

I played the moderator among all of us here and asked the guys five questions about the third edition of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in The Finals. (We also worked in one Bulls-related question because, well … we are a Bulls blog, correct? You’ll enjoy it.)

You’ve probably seen some of our roundtable discussions before here, but if you haven’t, it’s really simple. I’ll ask the crew a few questions about the Cavs and Warriors and they answer them. You’ll catch on quickly.

(I also personally wanted to address the LeBron James situation that came about on Wednesday regarding James’ home in California being vandalized with a racist slur. We’ll discuss that after the questions.)
